Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • IBM Enterprise AI

    I love a job with a high degree of difficulty, and IBM B2B for enterprise AI certainly fits the bill. As business units go, you don’t get much deeper into the weeds. But in rolling up your sleeves and getting filthy in a category, you always come away with new tools, and that’s one of…

  • Verizon / Cecily and Paul

    For the record, the obscene media-buy annoyed the shit out to me, too. But for better or worse, both SNL and Ryan Reynolds took the time to take the piss out of the delightful Paul Giamatti as Albert Einstein. Oh, and Verizon made their numbers for the first time in several straight quarters.

  • Google / World in Progress

    In 2005, 36 years after the invention of the internet, the world’s billionth internet user came online. At the time, analysts were forecasting another 10 years before the world would see another billion, and another 25 years before the third.

The series is less about telling a story and more about starting real conversations with children and parents about the sometimes challenging world we live in. Working directly with Kevin and…

  • Story Time for Portal by Facebook / Dr. Seuss!

    As the father of three little girls (who are, sadly, no longer little enough for reading picture books) this project was extremely special. This was my third time working as part of the AR/VR experiences team at Facebook on the Story Time platform for their Portal video calling device. This time, we would be partnering…

  • Noodles & Company/The Z90X Program

    When Noodles & Company introduced their zucchini noodles, aka “Zoodles,” they were a smash hit. Not only were they light and delicious, they also gave health conscious parents a guilt-free option when their kids were begging for Noodles’ famous mac and cheese, yet again. In fact, with Zoodles on the menu, there was no longer…
